I so wish I had a ballot. That said, it does not render my views and my ability to express them as impotent. It's that 'forest-from-the-trees' thing, Morris.
I peek over the fence and worry myself sick.
A lot of my peers were on loan to Iran to build their electrical networks. They made a lot of friends. So many Iranians we'd love to have as neighbours. What's with the war drums?
Won't you add impeachement to you arsenal of keyboard and ballot?
respectfully,

And then it's the "nutter", the ownership or possession of firearm by which is unlawful everywhere in the United States, who commits the murder.
Now, why it is that killing someone with underwear is OK with you but not if a firearm is used?

The bigest problems with having so many guns is that.
1) the nutters can get them more easily.
2) borderline nutters can get them easily.
3) young kids can, and do, get them to play with and kill others by mistake much too often.
4) killing or injuring someone at a distance is so easy,
And the reason that guns should be much more closely controlled is that with almost all other weapons you have to get close to the person you injure/kill.
But by controlled I mean that all guns and ammunition should be easily identifiable and the original owner made equally responsible for their use or misuse, with no exceptions at all, unless that owner could prove that they had sold the gun/ammo to another identifiable responsible person. Regrettably at this time that could not happen in any country where the law often lets people totally avoid responsibility. However if it could be achieved the level of gun related crime/accidents would drop at an amazing rate.

True. Federal courts have consistently held that the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment is an individual right, not a right belonging to a "well regulated militia" or to members of a militia.

Have any statistics to support any of those contentions?
Uh, you _want_ to get close to someone who is trying to kill you because?
Pie in the sky. Tell us a proven method of accomplishing all this "easy identification" that does not create another huge government beaurocracy.

Why don't you guys take this discussion to GUNS "R" US?

Because then we wouldn't have the pleasure of your intelligent input.

Pray tell...how would you accomplish this?
There are a bit more than 300,000,000 firearms in the US.
Think our people will simply turn them in or register them?
Snicker..think again
